Soft Summer Hair and Skin

The two products I can't live without for summer: Coconut Oil and Suave Tropical Coconut Conditioner. Read below for how I use these!

Deep conditioner: Apply coconut oil to dry hair and leave on for at least 2 hours (I usually leave on overnight with a shower cap on). Shampoo and condition hair as normal the next morning. My favorite deep conditioner!

Body scrub: In a small bowl mix 1 part coconut oil with 1 part plain sugar. Apply to dry skin in circles as you would a body scrub. Wash up in the shower with soap as usual (but be careful, the floor may get slippery)!

Moisturizer: Apply a small amount (and I mean a small amount) of coconut oil to body. This oil absorbs pretty quickly so you won't feel greasy, just amazingly soft!

Daily hair rinse: For those of you with drier hair (like me), the tropical coconut hair conditioner can be used daily in the shower as a hair rinse. No need for shampoo, just rub into scalp and hair in the shower and rinse! Especially if you're wearing your hair naturally curly this is one of my favorites.

So there you have it ladies, a few uses for two amazing (and ridiculously cheap) products. What are your favorite products for summer?

Hi! I'm Laura!

Here you'll find bits of the beautiful things in my life - my little family and our home, the clothes I wear and food I eat, things I make, tips from before and during my medical school at Harvard and now some of residency in Dermatology at the University of Miami. I hope you can find some inspiration and take note of all of the beautiful things in your life too!
